Abstract: This paper considers the scheduling of cell-based handoffs
to balance the traffic in a fiber optic Microcellular system. In the system
microcells are periodically sectorized to balance the traffic to maintain
the predetermined capacity of each sector.
The cell-based handoff problem is formulated as a dynamic programming
and the computational complexity is analyzed. Since the scheduling problem
requires real time solution, heuristic algorithms are proposed and the
computational results are discussed.
